Provider of secure data access and management solutions for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), Lantronix has announced the launch of its xPico 200 embedded IoT gateways. The compact xPico 200 embedded IoT gateways deliver robust Ethernet, WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, enterprise-grade security, and integrated manageability features that are suitable for IIoT applications.

“Today’s advanced IoT applications require more than just simple connectivity,” stated Shahram Mehraban, Lantronix Vice President of Marketing.

“With the commercial launch of our xPico 200 product family, Lantronix is providing a robust compact solution that combines best-in-class wired and wireless connectivity, industrial grade design and intelligent networking that enables resource-constrained product development teams to reduce total cost of ownership and time to market for their industrial IoT solutions.”

“With its state-of-the-art fast roaming capabilities and integrated manageability, the xPico 200 embedded gateways deliver reliable functionality and performance that will enable us to efficiently develop very cost competitive connected products,” said Paul Blashewski, President of Prescient Wireless.

Combining the Lantronix intelligent networking communications engine with Cypress Semiconductor’s wireless SoC, the xPico 200 gateways deliver managed industrial WiFi connectivity that enables industrial OEMs to simplify and accelerate development of their smart connected solutions.

Currently, the xPico 200 gateways are being designed into industrial, medical, retail, smart building and transportation verticals.

“Lantronix has developed an industry-leading secure embedded solution that enables OEMs to utilise the Cypress CYW43907 802.11n WiFi MCU to provide network reliability and flexibility to do more,” said Andrew Hunter, Senior Director of Marketing at Cypress Semiconductor.

“The xPico 200 series represents another milestone in our collaboration with Lantronix and addresses the growing need for industrial IoT solutions that deliver robust connectivity, processing capabilities and manageability.”

The xPico 200 product family features include:

  • Highly integrated industrial grade WiFi and versatile connectivity
